2. Claire K.

“Paddy and Claire got on from the get go. He had no hesitation in greeting her and getting to know her immediately at the Meet and Greet. Claire has such a nice way of greeting him when taking him out for a walk and Paddy is so happy to go with her. Claire keeps me fully informed where they have walked and who they have met and how Paddy has been responding. Paddy comes back happy every time. Claire has a great understanding of Paddy's communication and habits. I have no hesitation to let Paddy go for a walk with Claire and trust my Paddy in Claire's care from day 1, which is a good feeling”

About: I have always had a love of dogs, and owned my own as a child. I have two dogs myself now. A cockapoo and a labrador. They love having walks on our local beach which is 2 minutes from my home. I have attended dog training classes for several years, which I helped run and I am an artist of pet portraits, which make treasured presents for people. I treat all dogs as I would my own, and give them my best attention and care. In my area we have lovely sandy beaches and a nearby park. I live in a victorian terrace house, with a secure garden, with my husband and 2 sons in their twenties. One has just finished uni, and my other son works at a school,and plays football in a team. We all love animals.
